what an Editor Is.

An exchange gets off some sarcastic
and truthful remarks in regard to what
an editor is: An editor, in most cases,
who came into the world without any
apparent object in view, came by acci-
dent, born of poor but honest parents,
struggling through 5abyhund and hoy
hood, amid scenes of sheOl and misfor-
tune becomes hardened enough to live
on flattery, glory and big write-ups that
make a subscriber reach for dollar; is
fiattered, respected, Stunned and hated
by everybody; is expected 10 write up
the country once n week. and give ev-
cry one free puff, especially those who
borrow the paper to read. An editor
never swears in the paper without alb
breviating with q dash; he rolls along
like a stone gathering moss until lum-
bago strikes him in the back. The gath
ering of wealth has but faint hope and
shadowy "might be" In his mind; he
lives from day to day in hope of con-
scince money from subscribers who
owe him several years subscription, but
the subscriber sleeps we'll every night,
while he struggles on always having
something coming. An editor is ex-
pected to ride out on his railroad passes
and spend all his money paving hotel
bills, attending the conventions of his
political party, for which he gets the
promise of a third-class postoff1ce in the
sweet subsequently, but doesn't get it;
while some blatant stump speaker gets
the campaign fund for shooting abuse at
the opposing party to crowd kept
alive by bonfire and brass band.
"Stop my paper and take my ad out"
are the first stanZas of the most delight
full poetry that stamps the ear of the ed
itor. II is encouraging and soothing to
his most earnest reflections, and often
causes him to write column after column
of mighty good reading matter about
the country, merely to fill the place
where the ad came out.
Ad editor believes in Heaven, but
sometimes he has serious doubts about
getting there, as no "complimentaries"
are issued and it takes money he has not
got to tread the narrow path that leads
to the Celestial City where write-ups
are not necessary for the encouragement
of emigration. An editor is always ex-
pecting blessing or cursing at any
moment and somes gets both, only q
recess of five minutes between acts.

The Old St. Lawrence stock.-Under

The Old st. Lawrence Stock.-Under the
head "Gossip of the Road" the "horse editor" Of
the Sunday Ne,os says: "Of all the trotting FAM
lilies that have shown up we'll in this State the
Blossoms remind me very much more than any
other of the old st. Lawrence stock, which at one
time was sort of rage here. The old stallion was
owned by John o. Price, who lived near Jockeys
vile, Md. He was very coarse looking horse,
but his get all showed some finish, style and de-
cided conformation to trotters, with an inclina-
ton to trot at an early age. The old horse had a
strong Kanuck look about him and he stamped it
sometimes very perceptibly upon his offspring.
St. Lawrence was a much abused horse in respect
to the selection of the mares he served. They
were generally from the plough or the farm wagon
but with all these drawbacks his colts showed trot
and were much sought after by the road drivers
of those days. If the old horse had had the good
fortune to serve speedy mares of authenticated
pedigrees, he would have left family that would
now be strong factor in this State as producers
of speed Even as it is his name and memory are
deeply imbued in the hearts of the odtime road
ties, who knew him and who were fortunate enough
to own one of his produce. While Aladdin, 2.261,
Harry Arlington, 2.293, and Canton, and the past
deeds of the dead trotter, Billy Bad Eye, 2.264,
are recollected, he will always be remembered, for
his daughters produced these shining lights"

will finish his "Mother in-law" at Wesley Chapel
tonight. It will be remembered that he lectured
on the same subject in February, but owing to
the inclement weather there were but few out to
hear him. Mr.. Afford, being fine speaker, it
will no doubt be an interesting talk. The pro-
ceeds are for the benefit of the Sunday school.
DR.. Keech is progressing finely with his new

The most beautiful country residence and sur
roundings we having seen for some time is called
"Smith's Folly" near Hereford. The architecture
al design of the mansion is of the Queen Anne
style, and the numerous outbuildings all show the
taste of the designer, and with the whole enclosed
by hedge fence trimmed to perfection, makes a
lovely country home.

We would have been much interested in Mr..
Gorsuch's "reminiscences" of old McKendree had
we not read the same items from the same pen
frequently before. Yet, it brought to our minds
many things connected with that church. Although
it has been a noted place of worship for so long
time, and so many loved ones have been bourne
from its portals to their final resting place, only
two hearts have been made to beat as one inside
its sacred walls. Mr.. Gorsuch was for many years
the able and efficient superintendent of the Sun
day school at that place, and was dearly loved by
the children.
The members of Vernon have had their church
handsomely reprinted, which adds to its already
neat appearance.

The influence Of Home.

Rev. W. B. Geoghegan, assistant pastor of the
seamen's Union Bethel Church, Baltimore, few
nights ago delivered lecture on the subject Of
'Home and Home Surroundings" Among Other
things he said:
"The noblest ambition that could animate man
was the possession of home-a home that is the
abode of love and affection. Wherever hearts are
linked together in love, there is home. The In
huence of a home goes as benediction through
life. 1t requires skill beyond the skill of the
greatest architect to build home. 1t is to be
built by US, having as cornerstone foundation
of undying affection and love. Home is the great
est of universities and the characteristics of the
man are formed in the boy from home surround
ings."

to know by intuition what will suit the people,
and he writes for the masses. He has never yet
written book that was not great success; but
his latest work issued by the Historical Publish

Christian Reflector says: "The book is reyela-

be treated in such intensely interesting manner.
